IATA announces a tool to calculate CO2.

IATA introduces a tool for commercial aircraft to calculate carbon emissions online.

As per source The international Air Transport Association has introduces a new online tool that can gave exact CO2 emission calculation from any commercial flights. The tool is response for growing demand of CO2 data transparency that linked to airlines and actual fuel burn information and load factors.

As sponsored by Qatar Airways, the 78th IATA Annual General Meeting & World Air Transport Summit will continue through tomorrow, June 21. The three-day conference attracts more than a thousand aviation executives from IATA member airlines, governments, business stakeholders, alliance partners, and the media. Federal WSA additions played a big effect in CO2 emissions.

It connects available to companies with the travel value chain, like travel management companies, travel agencies, airlines and multinational corporations. It has ability to access the relevant CO2 emission data and integrate it in customized manner into their existing flight. The tool also permits the consolidation of data for reporting purposes said by Frederic Leger, A senior vice president for commercial product and services.

IATA CO2 connect utilizes the newly developed CO2 ‘Calculation Methology ‘adopted by this sector. This is the conceived by leading partners from 20 airlines.

Boeing has achieved a significant milestone by providing NASA with the second core stage of the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket.

This crucial component, crafted at NASA’s Michoud Assembly Facility (MAF), is set to propel the Artemis II crew into lunar orbit, marking humanity’s return to deep space after a 50-year hiatus.

The monumental Boeing-built rocket stage, the largest element of the Artemis II mission, will embark on a journey aboard the Pegasus barge, traveling 900 miles to NASA’s Kennedy Space Center.

Upon arrival, it will be meticulously integrated with other essential Artemis II components, including the upper stage, solid rocket boosters, and NASA’s Orion spacecraft within the iconic Vehicle Assembly Building. This intricate integration process is a vital step toward the eagerly anticipated Artemis II launch, slated for 2025.

“Boeing-built products helped land humankind on the moon in 1969, and we’re proud to continue that legacy through the Artemis generation,” remarked Dave Dutcher, vice president and program manager for Boeing’s SLS program. “Together, with NASA and our industry partners and suppliers, we are building the world’s most capable rocket and paving the way to deep space through America’s rocket factory in New Orleans.”

The delivery of Core Stage 2 marks a significant achievement in the evolution of the SLS rocket. Towering over 200 feet and powered by four RS-25 engines, this core stage, coupled with two solid-fueled booster rockets, will generate a staggering 8.8 million pounds of thrust. This immense power is crucial to launching Artemis II and future missions into the vast expanse of space.

The SLS rocket stands unparalleled in its capability to transport both crew and substantial cargo to the moon and beyond in a single launch. Its extraordinary capacity will facilitate the delivery of human-rated spacecraft, habitats, and scientific missions to destinations including the moon and Mars, ushering in a new era of space exploration.
